padata: Make two separate cpumasks

Browse Source

The aim of this patch is to make two separate cpumasks
for padata parallel and serial workers respectively.
It allows user to make more thin and sophisticated configurations
of padata framework. For example user may bind parallel and serial workers to non-intersecting
CPU groups to gain better performance. Also each padata instance has notifiers chain for its
cpumasks now. If either parallel or serial or both masks were changed all
interested subsystems will get notification about that. It's especially useful
if padata user uses algorithm for callback CPU selection according to serial cpumask.
